Steel FC sign Jamaican International Omar Holness

Well, the rumor was a younger guy with a huge pedigree and a lot of experience for his age would be heading to Bethlehem Steel FC.

The 23-year-old Jamaican international Omar Holness fits that bill perfectly.

Starting in college at the University of North Carolina, Holness notched five goals and 11 assists in 59 matches while helping to lead the Tar Heels to three NCAA tournament appearances. He spent a summer playing for Portland Timbers U23 team in the PDL and left after his junior season to sign a Generation adidas deal.
